Expensive, but does the job as an apartment
Pros
Maintanence gets back to you relatively fast. The walls are thick so it's pretty quiet (though would note that the doors aren't so you'll hear everything from the hallway and the hallway will hear you). Doormen and staff overall are friendly. Studios are spacious with a full sized kitchen. Close to a lot of grocery stores, AMC , and the 6 line
Cons
- have seen roaches in the apartment (both big and small) - rent hikes are pretty dang high every year (but negotiable) - there are 10 layers of paint and everything is painted over haphazardly
Good for NY
Pros
The handyman is super helpful, the doormen are great, pests are minimal, hot water always works, heat and AC work great. No leaks, no loud neighbors
Cons
About 1-2 cockroaches per year in unit (upper floor), there are a few on the roof which sucks
Advice to the owners
Better pest control, the trash room is super gross and could use cleaning. The Super doesn’t answer calls, just calls back when he wants which is bad for emergencies
